Shipping is calculated by product weight according to the shipping
zone to easily facilitate national and international shipping.
If weight based shipping is selected, then the country zone can
be set in the countries
admin panel, and new zones can be edited by following the Edit Postal Zones link in the main admin panel.

The system works such that you can set a series of weight limits
and shipping costs for packages up to those weight limits. The
weight can be in pounds, kg, ounces, whatever. You give it meaning
by what you enter as the product
weight in the products admin page.

For instance, if you have entered a weight of 2.4 in the products
page, and that to you means 2.4 kilos, then if your weight limit
is up to 3 then that is up to 3 kilos also. With the price, that
will be whatever the currency you use is. If it is 4.5 and you
use dollars, then it is $4.50.

To help calculate the decimals of pounds / ounces
just put the figure in the pounds column into the weight field
of your product admin page - just
the
numbers,
not
the "lbs"

If this table is placed into excel it's fast to
calculate the exact decimal for larger weights.

If your highest weight is 50 and the price for that is $5.00,
and you set "For every 5 above the highest weight add an extra
0.5" then at a weight of 55, the price would be $5.50, at
a weight of 60 the price would be $6.00 and so on.

NOTE
Products that have a weight of zero are not considered for shipping. If
weight is not important set all weights to zero and set a really
high "max
weight" limit.

Weight based shipping methods can be disabled at a given
weight.
On the postal zones admin page, just enter an "x" at
the point where a given shipping method ceases to be available. (minimum
Version 4.9.0 required).

Weight based shipping can be set as a percentage. To do this just
add a percentage sign after the value. eg 10% instead of 10 for
the cost. (minimum
Version 5.1.0 required).
